Nature-based solutions (NBS) are increasingly employed to address urban challenges. Typically, NBS planning emphasizes environmental impacts and ecosystem services, often overlooking their role in addressing vulnerabilities. Our objective is develop a framework assessing the extent which alter For this, we relate service metabolism analyses spatially explicit The relies on multi-criteria decision analysis integrate diverse impacts. It follows stepwise approach including development of...
Abstract Heat and drought events are increasing in frequency intensity, posing significant risks to natural agricultural ecosystems with uncertain effects on the net ecosystem CO 2 exchange (NEE). The current Vegetation Photosynthesis Respiration Model (VPRM) was adjusted include soil moisture impacts gross (GEE) respiration ( R ECO ) fluxes assess temporal variability of NEE over south‐western Europe for 2001–2022. Warming temperatures lengthen growing seasons, causing an increase GEE,...
Heatwaves (HWs) are expected to increase both in duration and intensity the next decades, but little is known about their synoptic mesoscalar behavior, which especially important mid-latitude regions. Most climate research has focused on temperature analysis characterize HWs. We propose that a combination of patterns better way define understand HWs because including atmospheric circulation provides information different HW structures can irregularly affect territory, illustrate this...
Geographically explicit datasets reflecting local management of crops are needed to help improve direct nitrous oxide (N2O) emission inventories. Yet, the lack geographically relevant factors influencing emissions make it difficult estimate them in such way. Particularly, for peri-urban agriculture, spatially crop type, fertilizer use, irrigation, and (EFs) hard find, yet necessary evaluating promoting urban self-sufficiency, resilience, circularity. We distribute these agriculture...
Emission reduction, heat mitigation, and improved access to water food provision are increasingly critical challenges for urban areas in the context of global climate change adaptation mitigation. The revival local agricultural production is often lauded as a potential nature-based solution. However, an expansion peri-urban agriculture (peri-UA) may entail significant ecosystem trade-offs. This study explores impacts on food-water-climate nexus different scenarios semi-arid, Mediterranean...
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neuropsychiatric in the adulthood. It's diagnosis complex process which screening tool can be useful.To analyze six-question Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v. 1.1) validity an outpatient clinical context.We performed case-control study, involving 90 patients with and controls without ADHD. They were treated program for adults hospital. The was measured by Conners Diagnostic Interview. We analyzed test accuracy different ways to...
Abstract. Tropospheric ozone (O3) is an important surface pollutant in urban areas, and it has complex formation mechanisms that depend on the atmospheric chemistry meteorological factors. The severe reductions observed anthropogenic emissions during COVID-19 pandemic can further our understanding of photochemical leading to O3 provide guidance for policies aimed at reducing air pollution. In this study, we use Weather Research Forecasting model with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) coupled canopy...
Monitoring CO2 concentrations in urban areas is crucial for determining the efficacy of climate change mitigation policies. However, highly heterogeneous land use, local geography, and convection patterns, which vary throughout landscape, complicate this task. To establish continuous monitoring programs, it important to first determine heterogeneity landscapes on ground. understand role these factors play distribution over an area, we conducted a measurement campaign Metropolitan Area...
Heat and drought events are increasing in frequency intensity, posing significant risks to natural agricultural areas with uncertain effects on the net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE). We modified Vegetation Photosynthesis Respiration Model include soil moisture impacts gross (GEE) respiration (RECO) fluxes determine temporal variability of NEE over south-western Europe for 2001-2022. Warming temperatures lengthen growing seasons causing an increase GEE which is mostly compensated by a similar...

Abstract Carbonyl sulfide (OCS) is used to quantify the carbon capture potential of biosphere because its direct correlation with CO 2 uptake during photosynthesis. However, constrain urban signal, it necessary evaluate anthropogenic sources. We conducted two sampling campaigns in Metropolitan Area Barcelona (AMB), Spain, May (full COVID lockdown) and October 2020 measure spatial distribution variability OCS four land uses as follows: built, forest, park, peri‐urban agriculture. The...

Given that cities concentrate more than half of the global population, it becomes crucial to assess potential impacts future climate change on cities. This study employs Pseudo Global Warming (PGW) methodology replicate recent heatwave (HW) episodes in Metropolitan Area Barcelona (AMB) under projected conditions until year 2100. Initially, we identify all HW events AMB over past three decades (1991-2020) and simulate these HWs using high-resolution Weather Research Forecasting model (WRF)...
Given that more than half of the world's population currently resides in cities, further understanding potential impact future climate change on urban areas is needed. In this regard, we project recent heatwave (HW) episodes Metropolitan Area Barcelona (AMB) with conditions until 2100 using pseudo global warming (PGW) method. First, determine all HWs occurred AMB during last climatological period 30 years (1991-2020) and simulate each individual event Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model...

The Mediterranean basin is expected to experience an increase in intensity and frequency of heat wave events. Additionally, peaks are exacerbated by the low albedo urban materials island effect areas. To reduce heat-related discomfort health risks, planners aim implement green infrastructures regulate temperatures thanks their transpiration cooling effect. For example, Metropolitan Area Barcelona (AMB) has created a metropolitan network “climate shelters”, which public...
<p>The application of nature-based solutions in urban areas to mitigate the harmful effects overheating and make cities more resilient heat waves has gained attention city planners researchers last decades. Street trees are an important driver street microclimate through shadowing transpiration cooling, which key components improvements thermal comfort. While several observational campaigns have been carried out low medium-density residential areas, little research focused...
